Comments about Panaracer Tourguard Pasela Slick Tire - 26 x 1.5:

Bought them recently to replace the massive, sluggish "Kenda Komfort" tires that came on my REI Buzz V bike, since I ride only on pavement. Not really a slick tire in this size; has a shallow but busy tread, which is both good and bad, in that it performs well in braking and wet riding but has more rolling resistance and noise than I expected. Anxious for the tread to wear down a bit. Low profile and narrow (not 1.5 inch; more like 1.38), the tire rides very nicely and looks very cute from the side with its broad, gummy sidewalls; same sort of retro coolness as black Converse Allstars.
Cautions: steering will feel "twitchy" to those accustomed to huge knobby tires. Narrow enough to stick in trolley tracks, some storm drains. A few web reviews cite sidewall deterioration and some other long-term problems. You may need new tubes (1.25-1.5)
Will likely choose something else next time, but like them in the meantime, as they reasonably responsive and darned cute.

Service and delivery comments:

Took a couple of weeks to ship to the Berkeley store.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
